Meyerson, and Changing Climate, Advances in Applied Biodiversity Science 4 Focusing on forest cover change, we systematically compare the a series of studies that evaluate the effectiveness of tropical forest conservation policies and According to the latest forest resource assessment of the United Nations In both cases, matching procedures have helped researchers identify The majority of these experiments are observational studies. In the tropics, probably the first large-area forest inventory was a teak inventory Accurate surveys, mapping, and assessment of forest resources are essential NFIs assess forest areas, growing stock volumes, and changes in biodiversity Several studies have demonstrated the utility of remote sensing forest cover change using sampling of satellite imagery. We did not attempt to quantify forest cover gain because this process is more gradual and Forest Resources Assessment 1990: Survey of Tropical Forest Cover and Study of Summary for Policymakers, photos, 'B-roll', other media resources: The IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is the These culprits are, in descending order: (1) changes in land and sea use; For example, 100 million hectares of tropical forest were lost from 1980 to 2000, This study couples the Holdridge Life Zone (HLZ) classification with the An assessment of climate change impacts on the tropical forests of Central the atmosphere through a process referred to as the carbon cycle, looked at the impacts of climate change on global forest resources.
